Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An information processing system comprising: a non-transitory medium to store programs of executable instructions; one or more processors configured by execution of the executable instructions to perform, by the one or more processors collectively, a method comprising (a) displaying on a display device a displayed screen, from which to transition to a next screen selected from plural candidate next screens, based on a user-specified predetermined command selectable on the displayed screen, to activate processing by the system corresponding to the user-specified command (b) determining, when the user-specified predetermined command has not been made via the displayed screen, whether a display condition for displaying a preview of the next screen prior to transitioning to the next screen is satisfied; and (c) displaying the preview of the next screen on the display device when the display condition is satisfied, the displayed preview including both (i) a first next screen review corresponding to a first processing result of processing the user-specified predetermined command and (ii) a second next screen preview corresponding to another processing result, distinct from the first processing result, of processing the user-specified predetermined command.
2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the preview of the next screen is a screen that is obtained by manipulating the next screen.
3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein when a region in which data that is input by a user is displayed is present in the next screen, information to mask the data is arranged in a corresponding region in at least one of the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview.
4. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein in the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview, an estimated transition time that is estimated to be required to transition from the displayed screen to the next screen is arranged.
5. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein in the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview, whether transition from the next screen back to the displayed screen is enabled is indicated in an emphasized manner.
6. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview is in a display mode different from a display mode of the next screen.
7. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the user-specified predetermined command is an input of selecting a transition symbol that indicates to transition to the next screen by using a specification symbol that moves based on an operation by a user.
8. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the method performed by the by the one or more processors collectively further comprises: registering each of the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview in a storage device; determining that the display condition for displaying the preview of the next screen is satisfied upon determining that the user-specified predetermined command has not been received in a predetermined period of time since start of the display of the displayed screen and that a preview of the next screen is not being displayed; combining, when the display condition is satisfied, the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview included in the preview of the next screen displayed prior to transitioning to the next screen, and superimposing the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview on the displayed screen, the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview having been acquired from the storage device; and replacing by the next screen, upon receiving the user-specified predetermined command, the displayed screen on which the first next screen preview and the second next screen preview are superimposed thereon.
9. An information processing system comprising: a non-transitory medium to store programs of executable instructions; one or more processors configured by execution of the executable instructions to perform, by the one or more processors collectively, a method comprising (a) displaying on a display device a displayed screen, from which to transition to a next screen selected from plural candidate next screens, based on a user-specified predetermined command selectable on the displayed screen, to activate processing by the system corresponding to the user-specified command, the user-specified command being an input of selecting a transition symbol that indicates to transition to the next screen by using a specification symbol that moves based on an operation by a user; (b) determining, when the user-specified predetermined command has not been made via the displayed screen, whether a display condition for displaying a preview of the next screen prior to transitioning to the next screen is satisfied; (c) displaying the preview of the next screen on the display device when the display condition is satisfied; (d) arranging in the displayed screen, first to n-th transition symbols (n≥2) indicating transition to first to n-th next screens, respectively; (e) determining, when the display condition is satisfied, which preview of the next screen is to be displayed out of first to n-th previews of the next screen corresponding to the first to the n-th next screens, respectively, based on a distance between the specification symbol and each of the first to the n-th transition symbols; and (f) displaying a preview of the next screen that is determined to be displayed out of the first to the n-th previews of the next screen on the display device.
10. The information processing system according to claim 8 , wherein the method performed by the processor further comprises: determining whether the specification symbol has been moved after display of the preview of the next screen; and sequentially displaying the first to the n-th previews of the next screen on the display device, while the specification symbol is not moved.
11. The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein the method performed by the processor further comprises: determining whether the preview of the next screen is specified by the specification symbol, after display of the preview of the next screen; and displaying, when the preview of the next screen is specified, a preview of a screen to be displayed after the next screen, to be transitioned to from the next screen.
12. An information processing device comprising: one or more processors configured to execute one or more programs of instructions stored in a non-transitory medium to perform a method comprising (a) displaying on a display device a displayed screen, from which to transition to a next screen selected from plural candidate next screens, based on a user-specified predetermined command selectable on the displayed screen, to activate processing by the system corresponding to the user-specified command (b) determining, when the user-specified predetermined command has not been made via the displayed screen, whether a display condition for displaying a preview of the next screen prior to transitioning to the next screen is satisfied; and (c) displaying the preview of the next screen on the display device when the display condition is satisfied, the displayed preview including both (i) a first next screen preview corresponding to a first processing result of processing the user-specified predetermined command and (ii) a second next screen preview corresponding to another processing result, distinct from the first processing result, of processing the user-specified predetermined command.
